About the Author
Jay McGavren was doing automation for a hotel services company when a colleague introduced him to Programming Perl (a.k.a. the Camel Book). It made him an instant Perl convert, as he liked actually writing code instead of waiting for a 10-person development team to configure a build system. It also gave him the crazy idea to write a technical book someday.
In 2007, with Perl sputtering, Jay was looking for a new interpreted language. With its strong object-orientation, excellent library support, and incredible flexibility, Ruby immediately won him over. He's since used Ruby for two game libraries, a generative art project, in support of a Java development job, and as a Ruby on Railsfreelancer. He's been using Rails in the online developer education space since 2011.

I use ruby professionally on a daily basis, and am Team Lead for a large project written in Ruby. As such I am always looking for good training material for Jr Engineers and new team members-- having had good luck with Head First books before I picked up "Head First Ruby".I'm happy to say this book continues in the grand tradition of the Head First series and provides a clear, easy and precise introduction to Ruby, and I think is the easiest way to get "up and running" with Ruby. TAKE THE TIME TO DO THE EXERCISES. They are silly but you will learn.
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Perfect for the beginning to intermediate student of Ruby By R When I first learned Java some years ago Head First Java was where I got started. (I had tried Thinking in Java, which is a great book, but it's not all that accessible for beginners.) I'm learning Ruby, obviously, and once again I've found this book to be a great starting point. When I say it's a great first book I don't mean that the code you learn is overly simplified or trivial, but these guys make it easy to take the plunge. You still have to swim. One thing I particularly like is the way it emphasizes differences between Ruby and older languages that have what I'll call a C-like syntax. As many of the basic code structures are similar throughout that family of languages, zeroing in on the contrasts saved me a lot of confusion. Amazon happened to offer me this review copy shortly after I learned that our shop was turning toward Ruby for an upcoming project so that was my good luck, but even if I'd paid for the book I'd still be in love with it. I'm only halfway through but I'm writing solid code for moderately complex applications. I seriously could not recommend this more highly for a beginner. If anyone knows of the best more advanced book I'd appreciate it if you left it's title as a comment.
5 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Great book for either learning Ruby or just programming in general By Someone Good* It explains basic programming concepts in plain English. I'm confident that even a 4th grader can understand this book* It's an interesting to read book. A big struggle with learning programming is the initial boredom that comes with learning the basics. Like all Head First books, this isn't an issue. There are plenty of pictures, interesting fonts, situations, and puzzles to keep readers engaged.* It covers about 90% of the basics (more on this later in the Bad section), even the functional programming aspects of Ruby which is nice.* Head First is a great series of books that everyone should read.Ok* It doesn't really cover how to setup your environment that well, but that's to be expected. This is a hill that beginners just have to climb.Bad* There are 2 chapters of wasted space that's already covered better in another Head First book: Head First Ruby on Rails. I don't understand why the author chose to cover writing a web app with so little space (and the editor let it pass) when it belongs in another book that already exists. There's little point in reading anything past Chapter 13 (excluding the section talking about what they didn't cover) if you're going to be reading Head First Rails.* The most important concept that wasn't covered, wasn't even mentioned at all in the book. It's so important that I was tempted to take a star away. What is it? It's concurrency / parallelism i.e. (attempting) to do more than one thing at the same time. Multithreading wasn't discussed. Parallel operations via spawning new processes wasn't' discussed either, even though if you cover that you'll probably need to discuss Rescue or Sidekiq. It's even more important to cover in books like this because there is very little easy to read content that covers concurrency and parallel operations (we're talking white paperish territory) and it's something really really important to know and understand in the real world. In the author's defense, multithreading in Ruby doesn't buy you much in terms of performance unless you use a 'non-standard' version of Ruby (e.g. JRuby). Still it's a key concept that every programmer should know that's useful, especially once you inevitably start using other programming languages. In further defense of the author, to my knowledge only one HeadFirst book covers concurrency: Head First C# (which is sad and strange when you think about it - not even HeadFirst Java covers it).Overall it's a great book that I'll recommend without hesitation. I just wish all future HeadFirst authors (and editors) at Oreilly remember concurrency and parallelism.
